Gears on a Speedway GP bike explained! | Tatum's Tech Talk | FIM Speedway Grand Prix

[@davidenloe]

Don't apologize to people that know the sport. Videos explaining the sport like these, help peak interest for new fans. Great video!!

[@TBO2488]

Been a fan of speedway since since I was about 6yrs old. 36 now and not so much interested like I was but still found this very interesting as I never knew.

[@georgewhiteford9869]

There’s a lot more to this speedway than meets the eye! Fascinating stuff.

[@dennymcfastlane8530]

Yes...Less is always More.

[@CaryCotterman]

I used to have a 72-tooth rear sprocket on my Jawa when I rode at tiny Costa Mesa Speedway in California fifty years ago. I think I was overspinning in the turns, and I slid off frequently. Unfortunately, at that time I had no clue about this kind of stuff.

Tatum is like that rare professor at university whose class you can't wait to get to every day.

[@chrispynov1963]

Please touch on primary gearing too, crank and clutch

[@TheHypnotstCollector]

when you change gearing you also change the Wheel base. smaller sprocket lengthens the wheel base. ..a change of 3 teeth probably means altering length of chain.

[@dennymcfastlane8530]

And, you can adjust the distance after a gear change by adding pre-cut chain links to get the right set-up. Forward on chain/wheel adjustment creates More traction, but difficult to ride because the wheelbase is shortened. Anything from the middle of the chain/wheel adjustment and back is easier to ride, but less traction because the wheelbase is longer.

yep, you're so right there. I leart about it on a kart. Wrong sprocket and you're too slow for a tight track. Or, you pass them on the straight but lose in the bends. Cheers.

Man you the best how talk on bike. Super knowlegnlo 😅 thanks man

[@neilrichardson1116]

Brilliant info,tell me more.

[@peterwrooke]

Thank you.

[@mandybranch7218]

Thank you 🙂

[@cssChiakii]

Thank you for this

[@HockingRacing49]

Hi, Great video but limited info. My boys just started riding at 7- I need to learn how to set his bike up. Can you cover all your videos again in greater basic detail. I can’t find anywhere that’s does this. Everyone is friendly but tight lipped at the track. Hard for newbies Happy to be a patron for you to share your learned information Cheers

[@nikipuravet1791]

From beginning you don't need too much of setup When you go to win race points Then yes everything's count

[@MrCubflyer]

I was watching speedway and they had a letter for bike selection what does that mean? I saw A,B and C thanks

[@speedwaygptv]

This is about what bike they’re using. Most riders will turn up to a meeting with 2-3 bikes, registering them all to race. A will be their first pick, then B and C. So it lets you know that they’ve changed their set up essentially

[@adrianradu2335]

Wow

[@jeffamiot3055]

You have the hearing backwards

[@paragonpaul9792]

I’d love to go for a pizza with Kelvin 🍕
